Imaging Features Differentiating Vestibular Ganglion from Intracanalicular Schwannoma on Single-Sequence Non-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.
CONCLUSION: Vestibular ganglia may mimic intracanalicular vestibular schwannomas on a single-sequence T2W MRI. However, a fusiform shape and width <1.3 mm increases confidence in the diagnosis of ganglia. Identifying the vestibular ganglion on single-sequence T2W MRI studies may obviate the need for a contrast-enhanced MRI, reducing the risks of contrast administration, additional scanning time and cost.
